With the onset of fall, we want to remind you that we are heading for the inevitable colder weather! Don’t let freezing water catch you by surprise. North Texas typically won’t freeze over for a couple more weeks, so we’ve got time to take some preventative measures that can save a lot of money in the long run.
- Now is the time to make sure you don’t have any leaking hose bibs. (outdoor faucets)
- Remember to remove your hoses before a freeze to prevent costly repairs.
- Styrofoam caps or other covering will protect your hose bib from cracking under a freeze.
- Leave your pool running before, during, and just after a freeze.
- Consider getting your waste lines cleaned out before holiday entertaining.
Enjoy your beautiful autumn days, and take advantage of this friendlier time of year to get around your house and check out the state of things. Get a game plan together so you’re not caught off guard when it gets nasty outside!
